Eight squares in a row form a rectangle. Or, you could have two rows of four, one on top of the other. That too is a rectangle.
If someone fills the inside of the rectangle by drawing hundreds of rows of tiny squares, the way you find out how many squares there are is: you count the number of rows, then you count the number of columns, then you multiply the two numbers. That's exactly what you're doing when you measure the width, measure the length, and multiply.

The number of square tiles is always equal to factor pairs. As an example, imagine a rectangle that contains 8 squares - 2 rows of 4. 2 X 4 = 8. In other words, the dimensions of the rectangles are ALWAYS equal to a factor pair of the number of squares in the rectangle. A rectangle containing 24 squares could be made as 24x1, 12x2, 8x3, or 6x4.

You need to know the area of the portion of floor you wish to cover, and you need to know the size of the carpet tile. To measure area, use the formula for a rectangle, which is the length times the width. If the floor is not a rectangle, divide it up into rectangles. For example, an "L" shaped room can be measured as two rectangles. Be sure to measure in consistent units -- such as yards, feet or inches. As an alternative, find out the size of the carpet tiles in inches. Then measure the length of the rectangle in inches, and divide by the tile size. That is the number of rows in that direction; do likewise for the width. Then multiply together for the total number of tiles in that rectangle.
The number of divisions to use is not stated: So, 2 rows x 3 columns if dividing original rectangle into two rectangles.
Make a 7 by 7 unit rectangle. The area of the rectangle (length times width or, in this case, 7 times 7) is 49.

the main rule is rows + columnss-the highest common factor
Imagine the rectangle divided into squares corresponding to length and width... Eg a 6" x 5" rectangle would have 5 rows of six one-inch squares, total 30, which would make its area 30 squinches
Not possible.
The area around the sink would take two rows of four tiles each, so that is 8 tiles which will NOT be needed. The whole floor would take twelve rows of fourteen tiles = 12 x 14 = 168. So, if we take away the 8 tiles which won't be needed we are left with 160 tiles.
